Category Archives: Your miraculous BIRTH

Many pregnant women worry about how labor and delivery will be and how THEY will be during that labor and delivery. It can seem like an intense situation where it’ll be easy for you to be thrown off of “your game.” I ask women: What strengths might you be able to leverage during your pregnancy?…

After identifying what they know they want for their delivery process and making concrete decisions, some women have found it amazingly helpful to generally prepare for an experience in which there are known factors and unknown factors. This might involve preparations such as meditation, visualization, or exercising to strengthen their bodies. How do you prepare…

Beth got a recommendation from a friend for an OB-GYN. This doctor was a part of her HMO network and she felt great about finding a really nice and attentive doctor so easily.

Last week was my birthday week. Yay! Something to celebrate. Now, I don't remember my own birth… Yet, I do remember funny, exciting, anxious, annoying, precious, and miraculous moments from the births of my children. The moments that are top-of-mind include: how nervous I was when my doctor told me we might need to use…

A good number of stories that I’ve gathered for my Loving the Pregnant You book have clearly pointed to the power of “tuning inward” or staying in the present moment throughout delivery. Women have found this helpful in minimizing pain and/or identifying what they want and need physically and emotionally throughout the birth process. There…

Supriya had planned a natural, vaginal delivery. When she had been in labor for about 25 hours and pushing hard for four or five hours, it clicked in her mind that she might need a cesarean. After a few moments of struggling with that idea, she felt a flow of acceptance and thought, “Okay, let’s…

From time to time I expound about the benefits of being vulnerable… about the potential relief, understanding, ideas, and/or sympathy that’s possible when you open yourself up in some way and share something that we often don’t. It’s a risk, certainly. And, I’ve heard many accounts of how it pays off. I want to tell…

Jenny chose to have a natural home birth with a midwife present. This immediately made sense to her. Her Mom had done it and therefore she felt she could too. It wasn’t unfamiliar inside her family. Her Mom had experienced a home birth and her mother-in-law had experienced a natural childbirth. So there was immediate…

In Debra’s family, they talk about birth. The stories are passed down from generation to generation. Since Debra was a little girl she’s known that her great grandmother gave birth to 8 kids at home. She’d work at the family farm store all day and then when she would feel that it was about time,…

What People Are Saying…

“One of the things that makes Amy Riley such an exceptional coach is her superb ability to listen. The kind of listening that leaves you feeling as if you have truly been heard. When someone listens to you that well, suddenly your mind is filled with solutions that were not possible before the hearing happened. Amy was also able to create an atmosphere where I felt so safe and non-judged that I was able to process. She never left me feeling as if I were alone, but rather as if she were right there with me. If you are looking for the BEST in coaching, look no further, you have found her!!”

– Debi K., Mom, Children’s Book Author, Life Coach

“What I most appreciate about Amy as a coach is the way her coaching process flows so naturally. She listens intently, asks important questions, and dives into her big bag of tools and concepts WITH me, transparently offering herself and her life experience in service of my learning. It feels very easy and natural and I ALWAYS walk away with thought (or action) provoking insight from our coaching conversations.”
